Leonard Dalton Abbott (1878–1953) was an American publicist and radical thinker, born in Liverpool, England. He emigrated to the United States in 1897, involved himself in the socialist movement, and remained an active worker up to 1905. His interests later turned to libertarian education, in which he at once assumed a commanding presence. He was associated in the publication of The Commonwealth, The Free Comrade, and The Modern School, and aided in the founding of the Rand School of Social Science, the Intercollegiate Socialist Society, and the Ferrer School of Stelton, N. J. From 1905, he was one of the editors of Current Opinion. He supported free speech and pacifism and served for a time as president of the Free Speech League.[1] He wrote many tracts and pamphlets, and two books:
- Ernest Howard Crosby (1907)
- Francisco Ferrer, His Life, Work, and Martyrdom (1910)
Abbott married Rose Yuster in 1915; he was Romany Marie Marchand's brother-in-law.[2]
Abbott edited three volumes of a book called Masterworks of Economics.
